Modelling dielectric and magnetic properties of ferroconcrete

Abstract

This contribution discusses the modelling and parameterization of dielectric and magnetic properties of ferroconcrete by using numerical electromagnetic field analysis software. The software is based on the Method of Moments (MoM). The shielding effectiveness (SE) of the ferroconcrete DUT was already measured in a study by order of the government. According to these results, the ferroconcrete DUT is modelled and calculated. Therefore the DUT is subdivided into two parts. The first part represents the reinforcement mesh; the second part represents the lossy concrete with complex permittivity. Afterwards, the reflection and transmission properties of numerical analysed building materials are validated and compared with the measurement results in a frequency range of 30-1000 MHz.
